Thread: Mummy Twins

Tweet

These are my 2 mummies I finished last week. Forgot to take pics of making ...so excited and all.... but I used the acrylic torsos that swimsuits came on from Sams Club, a 6 inch round , 2 ft cardboard tube cut in half for the legs , 1/2 pool noodle for arms and the cheap plastic hands from $ tree,
1\2 styrofoam head, a skelton mask that I got at goodwill at some point thru the years, cushion foam in the torso and wrapped in burlap strips. Painted the mask to get the effect I wanted and there you have it. They are free standing and the backs are flat. Only took about an hour each to make. Of course they are not weather proof. I made them to go on each side of my entrance into the barn. Oh, and I am having a Luau this weekend that's why you see palm trees in the background......

Those are fabulous!

Very cool! I love the burlap wrapping. It adds a really creepy looking effect. Great job!

Very Nice!!

those are great reminds me of the unwrapped mummy in tennessee state museum.

The burlap is just wrapped and not plastered down with something? They look awesome!!!!!

Thanks, I used hot glue here and there to hold downd the strips of burlap. Remember it not for outside use although if you coated it in poly it may last outside. I have a huge party barn/horse barn and use alot of inside props for decorating.
